Wish every team would sing “Hearts are falling apart” to us. Always ends well.

Would have been nice for the good guys to go through, but Dundee will do.

The good guys to win this, hopefully. Halliday with a very late winner.

I think the real issue is how shite Hearts are without Shankland.
Not able to score from open play against us playing like we did in the first half is a fucking brasser..
A penalty and an own goal. FFS..!
Whatever soothes the ouchy.

Mainly so everyone else in the top 6 batters them?
in ric’s mind we’re his teams rivals 🫨I just like to see Hibs fans all miserable about another false dawn. Their misery sustains me.

Considering the way your fans react to games between us? Yes, yes I do.
You would fucking love for that scenario to come about, and you'd crow like nobody's business if it were to happen, so stop trying to pretend you wouldn't.
You flatter yourself way too much. I would much prefer your lot to make top six than Hibs.

Everyone over the tragic sticker on the floor debate, aye?
Massive game on Saturday. About time we put down a stake and just took control of things

Yeah and did no-one think of any of this in the planning stage the bally thing was being built?
Should they not have found a better site?
This is a thing entirely of Livingston's own making which apparently has to become everyone else's problem, alongside the notion that all the other clubs are supposed to care about Livingston maximising revenue.
Someone had to say it.

There are minimum standards. And “looks better” has nothing to do with it.
ill ask again - can someone explain what makes a grass pitch better than an artificial surface? I don’t even mean to the extent that it justifies pulling up the drawbridge yet again, I just mean why would you choose grass over plastic?
I do not have the data, sorry. I also do not have the data about whether galvanised rubber would be any worse than grass though, or clay…

Rovers were playing Partick last night. I would encourage everyone advocating for the synthetic pitch ban to go and have a look at the Firhill surface (grass) and compare it to Starks Park (synthetic). Rovers' pitch is far superior. The ball bounces with consistency and runs true at Starks', it certainly did not at Firhill.
It would make a huge amount of sense to me, if prior to the vote the club chairmen, club managers and club captains visit a few ground to see the realities of Scottish Synthetic and Grass surfaces. I worry that they are going to vote based on reasoning's other than the realities of what's out there.
The managers and captains will be well aware of the quality.

Isnt that all a problem of clubs like your own, and mine, that walked away though? Cant remember who started it, but once one team walked away (did Celtic or Rangers not claim theyd play friendlies v European sides every week instead? Remember thinking it was just an attempt to kill the reserve league to strengthen their "B teams need put in the league" shite) it felt like others starting thinking it was a waste of time.
There was a vote to scrap it due to cost. I seem to remember Levein at United being on that side of the fence at the time. I do not recall Hearts ever wanting it scrapped though. Rangers, Celtic and possibly one of Hibs and Aberdeen might have wanted to explore other options, like you mention. I just want it back tbh, and I think our league is a worse set-up without it. The reasons why Scottish players stymie at c20 years old are varied and many, and access to pitches is a part of the problem. Not having an adequate step between underage and first team is another.

What about the current set up do you not like?
As far as i can tell senior players can still play in it beside youngsters? Kilmarnocks last game had Gary Mackay-Steven in it, as an example.
Number of clubs, number of matches, regularity of matches.

Livingston and Kilmarnock are two of the four Premiership sides who bother to participate in the reserve league.
Yes, and good on them. The reserve league however is not fit for purpose and it needs to be compulsory. It also needs to allow the mixing of youth and returning players from injury, as it once was. The current set up is utter shite. I would prefer my team to have a reserve team in a proper reserve league than a B Team in the Lowland League, personally. If I were to compromise on either proper grass pitches, or a functional reserve league, then it would be an easy choice. We currently have a situation where we have the worst of both worlds.

Be nice if county could win this and tighten things up a bit more at the foot of the table. Two slightly larger teams like Hibs and Aberdeen down there in the mix is good for the excitement of the game.

Those comments often come back to bite you on the bum, is all.
Best not post until after the game. (Easier said than done!)
Nah, my comments will have zero effect on the result or performance. Hearts letting me down and my comments being flung back in my face is just a bit of banter, and I will take it as such if it happens.

Maybe you shouldn’t have posted that before your team play a potentially difficult quarter final as well.
Why? Do you think my comments on a message board might prove to be the deciding fa tor tomorrow night?

Cry more, Hibs. You were shit on the night and you were beaten. Suck it up and move on.

Well, they not unexpectedly made an absolute Hibs out of that. Dearie me.

Just pure grass pitches?
Enhancements like hybrid fibres that protect them from cutting up is fine too, obviously. Cheeky wee scamp.

I am still for getting rid of them. I think an elite level league should have certain things that are not compromised on. Full participation in a reserve league. A youth system. Grass pitches. Undersoil hearing and good drainage. Grass pitch. If that impacts the amount to be spent on first team players then so be it. I do not really get how some clubs can argue that their artificial surface is good for youth development and argue against a bigger league and reserve league, when both of those latter things would improve youth development.

Originally fancied Hibs to win today. Sevco's heroics v Benfica were a surprise though. Maybe knackered after that though?
I remember thinking similar when we played them in the cup final a few years ago. I don’t see it. In his post match press conference Clemente sounded like he wanted to make a point.

Nah, it almost always blows up in the opposition’s face. Been some very cathartic occasions this season.
